That revolver was originally a prototype Colt Walker, a single action revolver with a revolving cylinder holding six charges of black powder behind six bullets (typically .44 caliber lead balls). It was designed in 1846 as a collaboration between Captain Samuel Hamilton Walker and American firearms inventor Samuel Colt (Colt Bradford’s ancestor). Somehow, it was transported to the Shadow, where it was infused with spiritual Essence and transformed into a modern Colt Anaconda revolver. Colt found it (with Oscar’s help) during his stay in the Shadow when becoming Purified, a story I hope to show one day.

Sort of the opposite of the old trope where the villain lays out his whole plan to the hero, giving the hero both the information he needs to thwart the villain, but also the time needed to do so. Poor Colt, he really does watch too many movies.
